About James

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Gritty, fast, workhorse capable of 20plus rushes a game

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Motivated team player and leader who works tirelessly both in season and off season to achieve team and individual goals

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I also run track in the OAA Red (Varisty letter as a Freshman) and am a member of our schools powerlifting team

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have been elected team captain several times throughout my career. Earning the helmet sticker for not missing a single summer workout or camp was a goal oh mine that I achieved this year. This also along with my abilities allowed me to be a 5 quarter player dressing for all Varsity games

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Currently in the biggest challenge of my life. I broke my collarbone on the first drive of the second game of my Junior year. My surgery was extremely successful and I am immediately beginning my rehab. I am committed to getting back and exceeding my current levels! I will be back!!!!

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that will help me grow and expand my football skills while preparing my future. I am interested in the engineering field. I have taken some CAD and drafting classes and those have really been interesting to me.

A closer look at James’ highlights against Northville.

James does his job. Tape kicks off with an off-tackle run. Follows his blocks, gets what he can, and earns a chunk play. Second, looks like the same play, but James bounces it outside, lays a stiff arm, and continues down the sideline.

James is a solid “slashing” running back. Not going to kill you in the open field, but has good, subtle moves in traffic and can break tackles.
